It's similar with Harvey Barnes, who got offered the opportunity to go and play for Scotland in the World Cup and he's obviously English and he said no, he wants to try and play for England, which I respect a lot.

And is he going to play for England or not?

You don't know, but he's turned down the opportunity to go and play in the World Cup to try and play for England.

So I completely get that and respect it.

I think England are benefiting as well a lot from foreign coaches coming in.

And now we're seeing more and more English players going out to play abroad.

Obviously, you look at Harry Kane.

Anthony Gordon, obviously, he's gone out there.

We've got a lot of English players now.

Willem, Jude Bellingham's been out in Germany, he's out in Spain.

A lot of players going to play abroad.

But I think the foreign coaches who've come into England, there's no surprise over the last 10 years, England has done better in tournaments because they're getting coached by a Guardiola, by a Jurgen Klopp, by a Mourinho.

And technically, English players are better than they've ever been now.

So I think...

seeing something different when you come to the system in England, which obviously I've been to in the academies, it was all one way of playing.

It was fight, it was tackle, it was, you know, be aggressive, get into one face.

Now it's more, okay, can we play out?

Can we take the ball?

Can we have control of the game?

So I think the English players are benefiting from these top coaches coming in as well.
